6:20 AM Friday March 9 2018

We are in a colder pattern that will last into next week. There is still the concern of a strong storm along the coast with disagreement of computer model guidance. But what will follow by next weekend will be a legitimate warm up. Here is a quick look at round up for today and outlook for the potential storm Sunday and Monday. There is still only on model showing a strong impact with snow but it is worth watching.

Reminder that Daylight Saving Time begins this weekend. Turn your clocks ahead (1 Hour at 2 AM Sunday). We will lose 1 hour of sleep. But while the morning set dark again, evening light will be noticeable with sunset in the 7 PM hour. By this time next week it will feel like spring for sure.

This Morning

This Afternoon

Wind gusts over 20 mph will make it feel like the 20s and 30s. There will be building clouds and maybe some flurries in the northwest hills.

Storm Hit or Miss

The GFS Model remains the only global model showing this storm as a hit for us with moderate snow Monday morning. The Canadian is closer but still keep most snow in southern Maryland and Eastern Shore. The European is still a complete miss. See the animation of these models below.

The timing of the energy now results in the storm moving off the coast instead of up the coast. But the track still plays right on the edge of our region. An adjustment of about 50 to 100 miles makes or breaks the snow for us.

Jet Stream Next Week

Following the storm, regardless of a hit or miss… Will be colder air mid week. Then the big warm up in the central US will reach us next weekend.
